  • I have started a Madoka Magica doujinshi called Zaubermädchen Anna Magica. (Anna Magica 4 short, ZAM 4 shortest.) If u want 2 check out v story so far, feel free. Whaddaya think of it? Please let me know. (I'll give u v link when I find out how.)
  • I have also started putting up pages from my old school sketchbook if any of u r interested. Seeing how I used 2 draw could b interesting. Search 4 "Sakura's Art Book."
  • Oh, and readers of earlier posts may know that I found out how 2 make a Pactio Card from Negima. (basically, a card that reveals magical details about a person) Well, I should've told u way earlier, but 4 some reason v picture wasn't loading on v software, so it's back 2 v drawing board 4 a while.
  • Crimson-Rose asked me why I had v letter v all over my posts. If u c a v on its own, it will often b a substitute 4 "the". Just say what u c.

Sakura's Adventures in A&E

Hello everyone! Excuse my week-long absence. (Not that many of u probably noticed. I was in hospital and have just been discharged 2day!!! So, obviously, I didn't have access 2 v Internet on a computer. (My phone isn't a very hi-tech one. I don't think it has Internet access.) So, it started on Friday when I had 2 leave school early bcoz I had a stomachache, and threw up shortly after I got there. We thought it was a bug, so I spent most of v weekend in bed, but I was still vomiting this greeny-black stuff which didn't look normal. Mum asked our neighbour, an ex-paramedic about it & he recommended we see v doctor about it. But, lateish @ night when we finally got seen, the doctor told us 2 go 2 A&E to find out more. Which then led to a week-long stay in hospital in a rather nice children's ward, where a lot of the patients had cancer. (I didn't.) I think it was because there was an empty bed.
It turned out, after a keyhole operation 2 c if it was appendicitis, that it wasn't appendicitis. I had a cyst on my ovary which had become irritated and full of fluid. They removed it in v same op. However, I wasn't done. After eating 2 fruity biscuit-thingies 4 breakfast, I threw up. The cyst had also caused my bowels 2 shut down & I was rather constipated. Don't worry, I'm pretty much better now. The stay involved lots of bed rest, but near the end I was advised 2 get up & walk around to improve bowel movements.
Top 3 Pooiest Treatmnents I had: (in reverse order:)
3. Blood tests & Injections. I can't STAND them and I cried during some of them.
2. Lack of food. I swear v IV drip was v only thing keeping me alive. I couldn't eat anything bcoz I'd probably throw it up again. At some points, this made me feel about 20 different kinds of low and I felt as if I would never b able 2 eat again. My parents, (at least 1 of them stayed with me @ a time) had to eat their food somewhere outside v room because it would be upsetting & insensitive otherwise.
1> DEATH JUICE. This was a name I gave to a really disgusting-tasting laxative which I had 2 take quite a lot of. Its real name sounds like gastro-something-or-other and apparently it has small bits of metal that would show up well on an X-ray or CT scan if need b. Ribena helped wash v taste away. I was pleased and rather annoyed when they inserted v rest through a tube leading from my nose into my stomach.
Apart from that, I did a lot of sewing and reading and can eat little things now @ a time. And some of Mum's Facebook friends were really kind. Some of v stuff I received were a Moonpig card, pictures of v cutest dog in v world and a WWF magazine. But the funniest gift was to Mum. It was an INFLATABLE BOOB JOB. ROFL
So, I'll say Bye $ now. Better try 2 finish off some challenges. That 30 days of Art one sounds really cool, but people had 2 apply by May 27th, which obviously I couldn't do.
I'll c if I can sort something out.
Oh, and does anyone have any ideas 4 a piece of art I wanna do 2 celebrate v fact that Sakura Land has been viewed over 100 times? I'm not sure. (It'll b 150 @ this rate.)
C u later!
Sakura

Last seen Googling cats with guns

Hello again! Just been Googling cat with gun and found some really funny pictures. How are you doing? You are reading this, right? Sorry, I'm practically forcing you now, aren't I? Again, I wonder what u think of my stuff. Hopefully I won't have to resort to this:

I don't think any cats were harmed in the making of this picture.
Sorry, don't feel as if u have 2 comment or PM me... (>-<) (I'm not making this very clear, am I?) Let's move on
So, am feeling like finishing off Chapter 3 of Oriko Magica and tomorrow it's the last day b4 v 1/2 term holidays! Unfortunately I'll probably have 2 pack in some revision 4 v end-of-year-exams-in-3-weeks'-time though. They're 2 check our progress.
Oh, and 2day's shout out goes 2 marshall lee 4 his really funny and random fan comic: "The Adventures of Cherry and Mr Cupcake!" The drawings were cool, but Page 3 was a bit gross. Oh, and it's not as girly as it sounds. Well done.
Better crack on with my English homework now.

Hello Again

Hello again peeps! How are you doing? Today's shout out is for v victims of v Oklahoma hurricane. Mum told me about it this morning and it sounds nasty. Hope you'll b able 2 rebuild your lives soon. Are you readers American? I think you are. I'm English, btw. Oh, and I don't drink tea, so let's clear that stereotype out the way, though I could qualify as posh in some places.
Call me Negi-kun if u wish. (By the way, Ken, Wales is NOT in England! They are 2 separate countries!)
Please don't feel shy about commenting or PM'ing me. It makes me feel really happy if I know u like it.
Off 2 Google concentration camps as research 4 ZAM and possibly read some Oriko Magica now.
Catch you l8r!

Sakura Tachibana's Newsround

Hello again. How are y'all doing? 1st piece of news: Sakura Land has been viewed 106 times! I'd like to do a piece of art 2 celebrate. Have u guys got any suggestions?
2nd piece of news: My little sister was mentioned on v radio! As mentioned last post, she was ill, and you know when radio DJs read out dedications; yeah well Mum texted BBC Radio 2 and the DJ read it out about a minute later! (Though he pronounced it wrong, apparently.)
3rd piece of news: I've added a clearer chapter title page 2 ZAM if anyone's interested. I think the problem with v actual manga pages lies in converting the speech to a bitmap/metafile. I will try 2 sort it out, but it's hard.
Oh, and a big shout out 2 DemonsandAngels whose love life has taken a really crap turn. I really hope you cheer up soon.
See y'all l8r!

How crap is 2day gonna be?

Hello again. Sakura here again, with mixed feelings.
We were on our way 2 church not so long ago, but my li'l sis threw up on v way so we had 2 go home. She puked again on v way back. (into a plastic bag) My parents reckon it's from 2 much sweets, but I hope it's not a bug as I don't wanna catch it.
Also, a couple of days ago, someone I was subscribing 2 posted a picture of Ganondorf up because they fancied him. Well, I felt as if I had found a kindred spirit because my hormones have the WEIRDEST, CRAZIEST taste in blokes, so I PM'd them saying that I fancy an (Real-life, though) evil person 2. (Sorry, it's probably just one person but I don't know v gender.) Seriously, my current crush is technically a mass murderer. (He didn't actually do the murdering, but you know... Crap. Can u guess who it is from here? Crap, now a small section of theO knows that I have a crush on @**** H*****...) (At least he's a man. Sorry if I'm being homophobic, but it's one small consolation.)
Anyway, so A-san (The Ganondorf-fancier, no offence) PM'd me back and asked who he was. I gave them clues because I didn't have v guts to tell them straight, but I received a PM from A-san this morning and they'd guessed it. (>-<) CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPPPPPPPPPPPP. A-san probably thinks that I'm a complete weirdo... Stupid, STUPID hormones. Why can't u crush on someone nicer?
On a lighter note, I've done some more work on v chapter title page 4 ZAM and Mum was thinking of asking the owner of v cutest dog in v world if I could c him.
Oh, and when you're blogging, how much information is 2 much information?
Brace yourself, Sakura.
Catch you later, when I'm redder than a tomato!
Sakura
P.S. A big thank you 2 Card Captor Ryoko 4 telling me how 2 comment on stuff.
